st CSDH cases and that soMMA should be further evaluated in a clinical setting.

A CSDH is mainly anteriorly located and supposedly primarily supplied by the anterior MMA branch. In a simulated setting, soMMA can be performed during the same procedure as haematoma decompression. A few reservations notwithstanding, we find that soMMA may be a…[Read more]

Current understandings on cell motility and directionality rely heavily on accumulated investigations of the adhesion-actin cytoskeleton-actomyosin contractility cycles, while microtubules have been understudied in this context. Durotaxis, the ability of cells to migrate up gradients of substrate stiffness, plays a critical part in development and…[Read more]

Straightening makes the banding information of the chromosome easier to read. Classification results of the 5-fold cross validation on our dataset with 32 810 chromosomes achieve average accuracy of 98.1% for type classification and 99.8% for polarity classification. The straightening results show consistency in intensity and length of the…[Read more]

Expectations of cannabis-induced relief did not increase frequency of use or problems. These data support the idea that further work is warranted, including placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials to rule out any placebo effects and identify potential adverse side effects from a cannabis treatment for vulvodynia.

The prognosis of cancer…[Read more]

e stage III.Objective Similarities between spouses in cognitive functions have been mainly explained by the assortative mating phenomenon and the convergence for age and education. The mutual influence between spouses is another explanation particularly relevant in the elderly population. Today, it remains difficult to determine whether cognitive…[Read more]

05). click here Overall highest color change was obtained in tea followed by coffee and Coca-cola. The least color change was observed in the samples exposed to artificial saliva (control group) (

< 0.05).

Surface roughness and color change were time dependent as both increased with time. Furthermore, greater the surface roughness,…[Read more]

Despite increased efforts to promote HIV screening, a large proportion of the US population have never been tested for HIV.

To determine whether provider education and personalised HIV screening report cards can increase HIV screening rates within a large integrated healthcare system.

This quality improvement study provided a…[Read more]

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of rituximab (RTX) in the management of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (anti-MDA5) antibody-positive dermatomyositis (DM), with or without rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD).

Medical records of DM patients with anti-MDA5 antibodies treated with RTX…[Read more]

Changes in body composition are associated with chemotherapy-related toxicities and effectiveness of treatment. It is hypothesized that the pharmacokinetics (PK) of chemotherapeutics may depend on body composition. The effects of body composition on the variability of paclitaxel PK were studied in patients with esophageal cancer. Skeletal muscle…[Read more]

The patient otherwise did not have any other neurological deficits. Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed no significant abnormalities apart from mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy of the left eye. A non-contrasted CT scan of the brain revealed acute subarachnoid bleed in both occipital lobes, but a subsequent magnetic resonance…[Read more]

A clinical-based staging model would guide physicians in the prompt management of the evolving symptoms and functional needs of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

We aimed to delineate the clinical trajectory of ALS in Singapore and test the degree of congruity of King’s College staging for ALS (King’s staging) among…[Read more]
